Sedo (an acronym for Search Engine for Domain Offers) is a domain name marketplace and domain parking provider based in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Cologne, Germany. The company, which is a subsidiary of German-based United Internet, has more than 15 million domain names listed on its website for buying and selling.[1] The company acquired GreatDomains.com, a domain name marketplace website, from VeriSign on June 19, 2007.[2] On February 24, 2009, Sedo purchased RevenueDirect, a similar domain name company. Sedo also formed a strategy partnership with the parent company of RevenueDirect, Dotster of Vancouver, Washington, to take advantage of the latter's services of helping businesses establish online profiles.[1] On February 17, 2010, Sedo helped broker the purchase for the most expensive .org domain name ever—poker.org—for US$1 million. PokerCompany.com purchased the domain name.[3] In March 2009, Sedo provided seed funding for the new start up Bloson.com, a social charity website.[4]
